After a long flight journey, Shen Qianqian and Liang Yubo finally arrived at the airport in Victoria. As soon as I walked out of the airport, I met someone who came to pick me up.
"Hello, is it lawyer Shen Qianqian and lawyer Liang Yubo?" A young man in high spirits stood at the entrance of the airport and asked respectfully.
"We are, may I ask who you are?" Liang Yubo was the first to answer, and subconsciously took Shen Qianqian behind him.
"Hello, assistant of the Victorian Branch. My surname is Sun, you can call me Assistant Sun. Assistant Sun introduced himself succinctly.
"Hello, thank you for coming to pick you up." After Shen Qianqian understood that there was no hostility towards the comer, she walked out from behind Liang Yubo.
"You're welcome, then please come with me." After Assistant Sun finished speaking, he didn't say much, just helped Shen Qianqian lift the luggage, and then walked to the trunk of a business car and put it in, then opened the door and said, "Please get in the car." β
"Thank you." Shen Qianqian nodded and sat in the back row with her head bent.
After Liang Yubo put his luggage in the trunk, he closed the trunk door, then walked to the front and sat in the front seat.
Seeing that the two of them had already sat down and fastened their seat belts, Assistant Sun started the accelerator and drove out.
"Now I'll take you to the hotel to rest. Tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, I will send someone to pick you both up to the company, and the rest of the itinerary will be directly explained to you by our lawyer Cheng. Assistant Sun meticulously explained his tasks and tomorrow's itinerary, and then didn't speak again the whole time.
When she was about to get out of the car, Shen Qianqian couldn't help but asked Assistant Sun a question, "Assistant Sun, do you all call Lawyer Cheng Lawyer Cheng?" β
"Yes, that's right. Cheng said he was a lawyer first and a businessman second. That's why he prefers us to call him Lawyer Cheng. "Assistant Sun is also very generous, and he is quick to speak.
"I see." Shen Qianqian and Liang Yubo both suddenly realized, and at the same time, their hearts were full of admiration.
"Here we are." Assistant Sun parked the car in front of a well-known hotel chain, and immediately a hotel doorman came to help take away the luggage.
"The room has been booked for you, you just need to check in and check in directly." After saying this, Assistant Sun glanced at his watch, and then said, "I have other things to do, so I'll leave first." In addition, there seem to be a lot of thefts in this area recently, please be careful. β
"Okay, go slowly." Shen Qianqian and Liang Yubo thanked Assistant Sun, and then walked into the hotel.
After a brief check-in, the two took the elevator to the twentieth floor and entered two adjoining rooms.
The night was peaceful.
Early the next morning, Shen Qianqian and Liang Yubo finished washing up and went out.
When they walked to the door of the hotel, sure enough, someone came to pick them up.
"Hello, the driver sent by Assistant Sun. Please follow me. "The driver is not a man of many words, and in the Victoria branch, there is not a word of conversation.
This time, Shen Qianqian and Liang Yubo were not stopped out of the gate, but entered the building smoothly.
Under the guidance of Assistant Sun's text message received yesterday, the two quickly arrived at the 29th floor, which is Cheng Jinlin's office.
"Lawyer Shen, lawyer Liang. I've been waiting for you for a long time. Cheng Jinlin received the notification from downstairs and knew that the two had arrived at the company, so he also stopped what he was doing. When I saw the person now, I naturally stood up from my position.
"I have admired the name for a long time, lawyer Cheng." Liang Yubo took the lead in extending his hand to Cheng Jinrin, "Liang Yubo." β
"Cheng Jinrin."
Then Cheng Jinlin stretched out his hand to Shen Qianqian again, "Hello, Lawyer Shen." β
"Hello, Lawyer Cheng." Shen Qianqian smiled slightly, generous and decent.
"Sit here." Cheng Jinlin pointed to the sofa in the office and motioned for the two to sit down.
"Okay."
"Do you two want something to drink?" Cheng Jinlin politely first set his eyes on Shen Qianqian.
"No, thank you." After Shen Qianqian finished speaking, Liang Yubo also gave the same answer.
"The two lawyers don't need to be nervous, our company already has a certain understanding of your strength, so this is why we will go to great lengths to ask the two of you to come to Victoria to handle this case."
"Archives, we all admire Lawyer Cheng as if we had never heard of it. We are honored to have the opportunity to work together. Shen Qianqian responded calmly.
"I heard that Lawyer Shen and Lawyer Liang are from the same school?"
"Yes. We are alumni of the University. Liang Yubo answered for Shen Qianqian, and then said, "Lawyer Cheng might as well have something to say."
"Good. Without further ado, I'm going to take you to visit our client this time. "Cheng Jinlin is also a character who does things quickly and does not drag the mud and water.
"Okay." So, Shen Qianqian and Liang Yubo, who had just entered the office and didn't have time to drink a sip of water, carried Cheng Jinrin away from the office.
After about an hour's drive, Cheng Jinlin took Shen Qianqian and Liang Yubo to a remote villa area.
From the outside, the whole villa area covers a huge area, there are many security personnel at the door, and the interval between the villas is much larger than that of ordinary villas, which can be said to be a very luxurious villa area.
Cheng Jinrin first reported the house number of the person he was going to visit to the doorman, and only after the security personnel and the owner confirmed that there was indeed an appointment today, Cheng Jinrin and the others were put in.
"Ding-dong-ding-dong-" The doorbell rang three times before the door of the villa opened.
"Come with me, several." A middle-aged, good-looking man opened the door, looking like he was supposed to be the housekeeper here.
"It's Lawyer Cheng, right?" Jiang Xinwei saw Cheng Jinrin, and his eyes lit up all of a sudden, as if a drowning person suddenly grabbed driftwood on the sea.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang. This is the defense lawyer I brought for you, and they will take over your case next. Cheng Jinlin said in a calm tone, neither humble nor arrogant.
"What? I spent a lot of money to ask your firm to defend me, for the sake of your Cheng Jinlin's reputation. You're now telling me that you're going to use an unknown little lawyer to defend me? Jiang Xinwei was a little emotional, and his whole body trembled.
"Mr. Jiang, I will never joke about any client's case, so please trust the authority of the lawyer we have hired, okay?" Cheng Jinlin is worthy of being a person who has seen a big scene, and he was not frightened by Jiang Xinwei's momentum at all.
"I don't care, I'm just going for your reputation. You don't defend me now, you have to give me a reason! Jiang Xinwei was indignant and had a tendency to refuse to give up.
"Let's put it this way. In the past few years, I have personally taken on very few cases, so it is inevitable that I will be a little rusty. These two lawyers were specially brought back by me from country A and M, and they will soon join our firm. In addition, they just won a lawsuit not long ago, and now they are very famous in the legal circles, so if you hand over your case to them, the chances of winning will be much better than if I handle it. β
Cheng Jinlin's words made Jiang Xinwei a little shaken, although Cheng Jinlin said that he was unfamiliar with business and lacked ability, these words were obviously some excuses, but now Jiang Xinwei, who is difficult to ride a tiger, naturally has no time to think more. He couldn't wait to get rid of his suspicion now, so he couldn't think about it too much, so he went down the slope and got off the donkey.
"Okay, then for the sake of Lawyer Cheng's face, I will believe you both." Jiang Xinwei's arrogant tone made Qianqian feel very uncomfortable, and she almost lost control of her emotions. But fortunately, Liang Yubo stopped her, which did not cause a storm.
Shen Qianqian and the others all sat on the sofa and took out the notebook to record the bits and pieces of information that they would hear next.
"Now, let's ask Mr. Jiang to tell us more about the night." Liang Yubo said.
"Here's how it happened......" Mr. Jiang began to recount what had happened that night.
It turned out that Jiang Xinwei and his wife Catherine quarreled over a trivial matter that day, and the two fell a lot of things in the living room, and Jiang Xinwei was even hurt in the face by his wife, but he really didn't want to hurt the harmony between the husband and wife, so he went upstairs to work by himself. Unexpectedly, by the time he went downstairs again, his wife, Catherine, had died. Later, it was time for him to call the police.
"So, your wife had an argument with you before the accident, right?" Shen Qianqian began to ask.
"Yes, that's right. But I didn't kill anyone, I love my wife so much that I won't kill her! Jiang Xinwei's eyes showed a trace of sadness when he spoke, indicating that his feelings for his wife were sincere.
"Mr. Jiang, we hope you can understand. In front of the law, only evidence is spoken, not feelings. Shen Qianqian continued to ask one by one, "Then may I ask Mr. Jiang, what time is the time for you and your wife to quarrel?" β
"It's about seven o'clock, yes, it should be seven o'clock." Jiang Xinwei suddenly decided.
"Why are you so sure it's seven?" Shen Qianqian asked.
"Because our family usually eats at six o'clock, we talked at the table for a while after dinner that day. Later, during the argument, I heard the wall clock in the living room ring seven times. Jiang Xinwei recalled.
"So you didn't quarrel at first, and you were even talking peacefully. Then excuse me, Mr. Chiang. Shen Qianqian pointed straight to the center of the problem, "So what are you arguing about?" β
"This ......" Jiang Xinwei hesitated a little, "I just want you to help me get rid of the charge, what do you care about our husband and wife arguing?" β
"Mr. Jiang, this is very important. We must know every detail clearly in order to better defend you. Liang Yubo helped Shen Qianqian and said.
